The earth Dog ushers in a time when socially driven initiatives take precedence and real change and revolution are possible. There may be an emphasis on environmental issues in the year ahead, giving a boost to technological advancements toward the health of the planet.

Paired with Saturn residing in Capricorn for the next few years, success and socially conscious gains can be made within business and society, but it will take focused effort. The earth Dog is a pack animal, utilizing teamwork and upfront conduct.

If you’ve been feeling less than thrilled with the political climate of 2017, then prepare yourself for even more changes in the year ahead. The earth Dog has no patience for demagogues and tyrannical self-interest, so don’t be surprised if upheavals within the system occur in the coming months.

In honor of the loyal and loving year of the Dog, today’s grounding song is “Find Me” by Sigma, featuring the soaring vocals of singer-songwriter Birdy (and a video starring Stranger Things actress Bobbie Millie Brown, pictured).

Living life with an open heart is a crucial part of helping to create equality within social and political systems. We can begin to change paradigms within society by opening up to love within our personal lives.

So crank up “Find Me” and imagine a better world in which reciprocity and the courage to live with an open heart are the norm.
